This Japanese guitar maker is fashioning phone cases that make your mobile look like vintage instruments – and the internet is going crazy for them
A Japan-based luthier has leveraged his guitar-making expertise to fashion smartphone cases that look like they were cut from the bodies of vintage electric guitars – and the internet has gone mad for them.
T. Sato, the man behind Moonshine Craft & Custom, has stumbled upon a winning formula for making cases compatible with Androids and iPhones. They look ultra-realistic, with each one costing around £50 (approx $67).
Unsurprisingly, they’ve proven hugely popular, with each listing on the firm’s Mercari store currently sold out. The one-man production team is struggling to keep up with demand.
It all started a few months ago, when Sato’s old phone case bit the dust. He crafted himself a new one before posting the results on Instagram. It’s been a whirlwind since.
